So in halseys journal, there are two missing pages of information (4 sides)

Were there ever any leads on how to find them? Or even what they contained?

Based on what she wrote on the previous page and what i can gather from reading the half words on the tear, my theory is she went ahead with trying to construct a next gen AI in 11 dimensional SF space which was an idea she was toying with for years, allowing it to grow and assimilate information and knowledge at a totally unprecedented rate and avoid rampancy and death forever. The power of such a construct would be unfathomable. The committee of minds also mentions this with some interest and even trepidation towards such a concept.

But i think something went wrong with such an advanced undertaking.......something went so badly wrong that she saw fit to remove and destroy(?) the only record of the incident even from a journal which she intended for nothing but her own eyes to ever see, as if to try and erase the event from history altogether. I think those two pages definitly contain an 'incident'.

I dont think weve heard the last of the consequences of whatever incident was recorded in those two pages

seriously no one has comment on this?

I think the AI could be Cortana..
She is a advanced AI, but I could be totally wrong.

I doubt it. Cortana was brought to life before halseys probable slipspace experiment, and theres no way she would risk her with something like slipspace.

Im sure she mentioned having a few smart ais on ice for future experiments too, and that they couldent waste them.

READ IT.

I won the Star. With this on Week 18.

Maybe Halsey made another Mendicant Bias, or heck, discovered what was left of that corrupted AI. Could be how they found the first Halo, and how Cortana became (almost?) corrupted too.

My jokes, so I don't lose them (ignore this):

I think ONI removing the pages after Halsey's presumed death could be a possibility.

On a bit of a tangent, what would happen if you made an 11-dimension SlipSpace AI transition back to 3-dimensional space?
Would it get destroyed? Would it tear some continuums? Would it become super dense, super powerful and awesome-looknig when represented in a diagram??

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

Her project failed, horriably. I think the missing pages are in the novel Fall of Reach.

I doubt you could bring a 11 dimensional construct of any form back into normal spacetime. It would be like a human trying to exist in 1 dimensions

Its possible that whatever halsey created could be equal to a contender class AI, or even very much greater, only trapped in slipspace unable to interact with the universe until who knows?.......so far we havent read anything of even the forerunner experimenting with slipspace AIs and the committee of minds which some people theorize are old forerunner constructs seemed surprised by the idea.

Its strange to think that halsey would come up with a revolutionary idea which the whole previous forerunner civilisation failed to grasp, although seeing a humanity itself once contested and even nearly defeated them long ago whilst simultaneously dealing with the flood, it would make sense to think of humanity as possessing a certain ingenuity which the forerunner did not. After all the forerunner picked us for the mantle in the end.
